The Rotary Clubs of Ely will be touring the streets of the city in the run up to Christmas with their usual sleigh and, of course, Father Christmas.
They will be supported by the Inner Wheel Club of Ely and the Isle of Ely Lions Club. A door to door collection will be taken to provide funds to support local charities and good causes.
The sleigh will start its journey at 6pm and travel along the streets approximately in the order shown below– with the last street being reached by around 8pm.
The routes are also available on their website www.elyrotary.co.uk
The route:
Friday, December 6
